And New York Governor David Paterson has criticized Saturday Night Live for going too far in its portrayal of the legally blind governor over the weekend. The actor Fred Armisen portrayed Paterson in a skit and repeatedly mocked his blindness. Paterson’s spokesperson Risa Heller said, “The Governor engages in humor all the time, and he can certainly take a joke. However, this particular Saturday Night Live skit unfortunately chose to ridicule people with physical disabilities and imply that disabled people are incapable of having jobs with serious responsibilities.”
